Local sources told Quds Press that Israeli gunboats in the early morning hours opened machinegun fire at Palestinian fishermen off Rafah and Khan Younis shores in southern Gaza Strip.

In an exclusive statement to the PIC, Ayyash elaborated that Israeli navy forces have arrested 80 fishermen and confiscated 21 boats of different sizes since the beginning of last April.
